Default HID help~~~~~~~

Hi, guys.
Today I found out that my driver side of VRD fog light is out.
So, now i am thinking about getting new bulb.
But why not upgrading it?
So, I am going to buy HID for both headlight and foglight 5000K.
I've been looking through sponsored merchant and...
I guess MobileHID is the best one huh?
I have several questions
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Which companies' HID is the best?
2) Is anybody selling retrofitted headlight(complete one)?
3) Should I get 50W one or 35W one? Is it alot different?
4) Which shop or person is good for installing them?

Thanks guys.

1. Almost any OEM company HIDs is always best. (Nissan, Lexus, and etc.)
2. Look for LittoDevil (Larry) at HIDPlanet. He does custom HID Retrofits. Expect to pay at least 2K for Labor only, he's an Material Engineer.
3. Why go higher when HID is already friggin' bright?
4. Ask anyone for installing HIDs it's not too hard.

Just one more quesiton.

Would CHP pull me over if i am running 5000K HID kit for headlight and foglight?
I highly doubt it, but please give me feedback.

since tC doesn't have OEM hids. They can stop you. Unlikely for some areas, and very likely in other areas.

Don't do HIDs in the VRD fogs... because of the design it will cause all kinds glare.

MobileHID has good support. He's now offering the slim ballasts.
